Web Services Computing

Web services are Internet-based, modular applications that perform a specific business task and conform to a particular technical format. The technical format ensures each of these self-contained business services is an application that will easily integrate with other services to create a complete business process. This interoperability allows businesses to dynamically publish, discover, and aggregate a range of Web services through the Internet to more easily create innovative products, business processes and value chains. 

For Web Services architecture, XML plays a role of normalizing the exchange of business data among trading partners by providing cross-platform approach in the areas of data encoding and data formatting. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), built on XML, defines a simple way to package information for information exchange across system boundaries. Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Registries, on the other hand, allow programmable elements to be placed on Internet where others can access remotely. A typical usage of Web Services is Dynamic e-business integration, which is the dynamic adaptation of business processes and associated systems to support changing business scenarios. 

Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:

• Web Services architecture
• Web Services security
• Web Services discovery
• Resource management for Web Services
• Dynamic invocation mechanism for Web Services
• Solution management for Web Services
• E-Commerce application using Web Services
• Quality of service for Web Services
• UDDI enhancements
• SOAP enhancements
• Web Services modeling
• Case studies for Web Services
